Are you ready for some flyin'? Football fans from across the country and around the world are making their way to Miami for this year's championship game. Join United Virtual Airlines as we take the party to a higher level with a fly-in to Miami International Airport.

Miami ARTCC is staffing up both Miami International Airport (KMIA) and Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) for the biggest weekend in football: Super Bowl XLIV

The event will run on Saturday, February 6th from 0000-0400Z. All departures and arrivals to KMIA and KFLL between 2300-0400Z will be eligible for double credit.

Pilots are asked to signup for an arrival slot online and note the confirmation number in their IFR flightplan: http://www.zmaartcc.net/index.php?optio ... Itemid=133

While not required, pilots may experience ground delays and/or arrival holds due to the increased traffic volume and airspace restrictions implemented by the FAA.

Pilots are advised to review the following prior to flying in the south Florida area:

Very Very successful event. Packed with Pilots from all Star Alliance partners, and of course great turn out for UVA from what I saw.

Great job Bill. Your efforts are always much appreciated.

What a crowd. Lesson learned: During an event such as this, load up on contingency fuel. Somebody taxied on the runway while I was on short final.
